B&H -- such a beautiful team, but her jumps were off today. And she could use a little more gynecological coverage. Technical q: if she doesn't rotate her throw jump, can it be his fault as well? People always seem to talk about throw jump issues as the ladies' mistake.

Haha it is true about the gynecological coverage.

I adore Berton/Hotarek and Universal Sports better televise their performance or I'll be one unhappy camper! :mad:

That whole skate was so frantic. I was worried for them during parts. Overall not bad. She really fought for the last throw jump. Unfortunate mistake on the 2A. I DO think MB has come a long way in her interpretation of the first part; though maybe they were just really that frantic it was hard to tell.

Oh dear, how does Mary Beth, who has a singles background, miss the 2Axel? She's going to be kicking herself for that big time!

It's not the first time this year :( I think Rockne missed it during US nationals actually.

I like MBM's position in the DS. Usually that type just looks like a mistake, in the same way as Yu Na's broken leg camel, a spin I loathe except in very rare cases.

Lots of mistakes but a lovable team.

Merry Bath and Rockne were off. Very shaky lifts at the end on Rockne's part, then there's the fall on the SBS 2a, the SBS spins that were way off, and the two-foot on the throw 3sal. Nothing too costly on their own, but it all adds up.

AW MB looks so happy with the score/placement. It is very easy to like her.
